Liam Ohgren: our analysis
2025-26 season: 51 GP, 8 G, 10 A, 18 PTS, -16 +/-, 14:27 TOI. WAR -0.2 (499th of 615) · PAL 1, very poor.
In 2025-26, Liam Ohgren, 22, posts a PAL Rating of 1 out of 100 (very poor), and his WAR of -0.2 ranks 499th among 615 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: discipline (84, well above average). On the other hand, possession (0, among the weakest in the league) and creation (5, among the weakest in the league) hold him back.
Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: penalties (+1.2); his biggest cost: EV offense (-3.0).
A marked decline: his PAL was 12 in 2024-25, against 1 now; his WAR went from -0.1 to -0.2.
Contract-wise, his Value score of 3 (very poor return) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
Liam Ohgren's story
He announced himself on the junior scoresheet long before reaching North America: in 2021–22 Liam Öhgren tallied 33 goals and 25 assists in 30 games for Djurgårdens IF’s under‑20 team. Born 28 January 2004 in Stockholm, he came up through local junior programs and featured in national youth competitions before stepping into senior hockey.
Öhgren broke into professional ranks during the 2021–22 season with Djurgårdens IF, splitting time between the J20 squad and the SHL club. While he excelled at the junior level, he also earned playing time in the SHL, recording one goal and one assist across 25 games. His stock rose enough to be selected 19th overall by the Minnesota Wild in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, and he signed a three‑year entry‑level contract with Minnesota on 17 July 2022.
When Djurgårdens was relegated to HockeyAllsvenskan for 2022–23, Öhgren continued to develop in the second tier, posting 11 goals and 20 points in 36 regular‑season contests and then adding eight goals and 13 points in 17 playoff games; Djurgårdens fell short in the Allsvenskan finals against Modo. To remain at the SHL level, he agreed to a loan to Färjestad BK on 10 May 2023.
Minnesota recalled him on 10 April 2024 and he made his NHL debut on 12 April against the Vegas Golden Knights. Across parts of three seasons with the Wild he totalled three goals and four assists in 46 games; on 12 December 2025 he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks alongside Marco Rossi, Zeev Buium and a 2026 first‑round pick in the deal for Quinn Hughes.
Internationally, Öhgren captained Sweden at the 2022 U18 World Championship, contributing three goals and six assists in six games en route to a gold medal. His game is characterised by a nose for the net and playmaking instincts that showed early in junior hockey and have followed him as he transitioned into professional play.
